I have never heard this expression, so I would consider it a "regular sentence" and not an idiom. So what does it mean? Perhaps it is a way of saying, "What is my business is my own affair." On the other hand, I have heard the expression, "Mine your own business." :lol:

Does that mean something like "create your own business"? It must come from "Mind your own business" Am I right?.

Can we have more context? Maybe the person is talking about a real business or it could be metaphorical.

Then, what he probably means is that he doesn't want to be disturbed anymore with that topic, he wants to be let alone. He knows what he's done or what he hasn't. But this is only my hypothesis :)
